On June 2, 2023, the Congolese Head of State, Félix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo, chaired the hundredth meeting of the Council of Ministers of the Sama Lukonde government. This meeting was held at the city of the African Union.
President Tshisekedi gave instructions to the government for the effective materialization of a strategic partnership with China, in collaboration with his Cabinet. He also urged the Congolese negotiators to preserve the national interest of the DRC in all phases of collaboration.
This historic meeting was chaired by Prime Minister Sama Lukonde. He believes that the Head of State is very present in Congolese political life, welcoming his availability to be present at the weekly meeting of the central executive.
It should be noted that Sama Lukonde broke the record of all Congolese governments since 1960 by voting a budget of 16 billion US dollars and launching an ambitious grassroots development program in the 145 territories of the DRC.
President Tshisekedi holds regular meetings with ministers to assess government action and take effective measures in favor of the population.
